Reading this IG

This implementation guide uses terminology, notations and design principles that are specific to FHIR. Before reading this implementation guide, it is important to be familiar with some of the basic principles of FHIR as well as general guidance on how to read FHIR specifications. Readers who are unfamiliar with FHIR are encouraged to read (or at least skim) the following prior to reading the rest of this implementation guide.

• FHIR overview
• Developer’s introduction (or Clinical introduction)
• FHIR data types
• Using codes
• References between resources
• How to read resource & profile definitions

This implementation guide supports the R4 version of the FHIR standard. It utilizes profiles from the US Core 6.1 (FHIR R4) implementation guide and the Da Vinci Data Exchange for Quality Measures (DEQM) implementation guide. Implementers therefore need to familiarize themselves with those profiles as well. A complete list of the FHIR resources in the core specification can be found here
